Re: pish

Put me down for a fiver on the piranhas and a tenner on the badger - those things are vicious little bastards.

That's no planet either........

Or, alternatively, Unicron did it.

Re: Good news for the masses

Good lord that was dreadful, breakfast. You should be appalled.

Re: "typical of a cetacean"

A good catch AC and as always I thank the El Reg Comment Crew for pointing out a minor technicality as the basis for tossing an entire argument out of the window.

The point I was trying to make is that both whales and sharks undergo underwater docking procedures when they mate. But hey, when the mermaids finally take over the world, I'll be happy to inform them that you're ok with just wanking yourself into the open ocean while the rest of us work on the building of mermaid-human hybrids.

Oo

Seriously, let me know how that plays out.

Re: Errrr....

True but that napkin specifically says a total of 9800.

You know what these reporter types are like.

Re: There will be trouble

The problem is, when people "think of the children", they don't [i]actually[/i] think of the children, they just think about how they can avoid awkward conversations with them. And then bad shit like this happens.

ACs - I have a lot of LGBT friends I speak to online in a very close community and I think I can say that if it hadn't been for that community and the access they have to it, a lot of them would have followed a similar path.

"I thought the idea of extradition was for serious offences only."

Making money in Hollywood is srs bsns.

Re: Makes sense

HP hasn't killed their tablet because "HP is totally commited to the future of WebOS."

I'm sure if I say it enough times I might actually believe it.

Re: Taikonauts

It's the sequel to Tim Schafer's legendary platformer - SET IN SPACE!

The man is grinding my gears now

My mind is finding it harder and harder to associate "Julian Assange (TM)" with "Wikileaks" and easier to associate him with the term "bail jumping, narcissistic publicity whore".

The US don't need to go to any lengths to kill the credibility of Wikileaks, sadly. Julian Asshole is doing a superlative job himself.

Re: No shit, Sherlock

This makes the assumption that the 3DS isn't completely dead already.

Re: Does it help?

Well, if we're trying to get rid of useless weight, we could probably start with the guys that wrote the paper.

Re: How does that work, exactly?

Hmmmm.

I've just watched the trailer and Lara's various reactions, not just in that scene, which frankly was too quick for me to make out clearly what was going on but overall, she does seem to have been reduced to a spineless wimp that complains all the time. What happened to the Lara that offered naff James Bond like quips before blasting someone in the face?

Re: Is he still news?

Mr Assange (TM) is a valiant defender of free speech and liberty, except for those bits of it currently rotting away in a military prison on his behalf.

Re: upgrade option

That'll be an extra $10,000.

Re: Something Wicked This Way Comes

The Illustrated Man was the first book of his I read at the age of 15 and subsequently plowed my way through the rest of my parent's Bradbury collection.

Just trying to remember - which book was it that had a short story about a city that was alive and ate a bunch of explorers?

Re: $35

Can anyone else hear a funny gurgling noise right now?

Re: Weighs more than a Duck

Judging by the horrific grinding noises my DVD drive makes when it's installing something, I'd have to say yes.

@DrXym

In my case, I pre-ordered Diablo III. The reason was twofold:

1) I wanted to play on launch day without having to waiting 13 hours to download the game.

2) I wanted the Collector's Edition, which *is* limited in quantity, with all the various cds, books and digital bits present and correct, something, unlikely with a second hand copy.

What actually happened was I ordered it through Amazon and from what I can gather the wretched thing still hasn't even left the damn warehouse yet. -.-
